Most check-in services tell you your mom responded.

Tendwell tells you how she's
actually doing.

Every morning at 8 AM, Tendwell has a real conversation with your parent. By 8:10, you have a clear brief — sleep, meds, appetite, mood, and anything worth flagging. No app. No device. Just the truth.

How it works

Set it up once.
It tends every day.

🌅
8:00 AM daily

Parent receives check-in

A warm SMS arrives. The AI asks about sleep, medications, appetite, and mood — gently, in plain language.

💬
~8:05 AM

Parent replies naturally

They just text back like they would a friend. No forms, no apps. If they miss something, Tendwell follows up kindly.

📋
~8:10 AM

You receive the brief

A 5-line summary lands on your phone. Sleep, meds, appetite, mood, and any flags — distilled and clear.

📈
Over weeks

Patterns surface

Three bad sleep nights. Declining appetite. Medication confusion. Tendwell notices what a daily text thread never could.

Oh... I don't think so. Let me check
The Tuesday slot is still full. I forgot 😬
